  • KSP 2 is over, the studio is shuttered and the devs have been laid off.
    A terrible situation, but one that means it's time to move on. Or...move back. To the original KSP, and at this point, the ONLY KSP! Yep, if Take-Two refuses to let the remaining IG staff communicate then this is what we have to assume, good job corporate lol.

Just about every bad decision was made for the games development, nothing short of a hard reset will work and Take2 will very likely never do that, theykl just keep thinking about how it “bombed” and not how both intercept and higher management basically held its head under water and wondered why it drowned.

      I didn't jump on the KSP2 hype train and from now on, I will only get early access games from indy devs. Sure, there's also no guarantee that the game will come out. But when their budget is smaller and their jobs depend on the game being successful, they'll pour more effort into it and they deserve the money for it. Big corporations like taketwo won't go bankrupt, just because one of their games isn't successful. Just fire a few people that did nothing wrong, kill the project, take the money and run. And of course KSP2 was pretty unique in it's secrecy and covid had an impact on it too. But it's also not the first time, a big brand game just gets killed without reason.

      There’s a mod for KSP1 that lets you record flights to do exactly what KSP2 “promised.” Just hit record, fly the mission once, and then you can replay that mission again in the future whenever you want and it follows the same delta-v profile to take the same resources between the same bodies. Davon Supply Mod is what I used, but there’s also Routine Mission Manager. Not sure which is cleanest/most updated.

    This is probably gonna sound weird but I'm kinda glad you're back to KSP1?
    Hard to explain without sounding extra selfish, but while KSP2 looks better visually (for the most part, anyway, not counting mods) and is obviously the newer game, your videos got me to go back to KSP1 after years of just assuming I'm too stupid to ever get anywhere other than "explode on the Muns surface". Now I can get to the Muns surface only exploding maybe 50% of the time!
    KSP2 was a visual treat and fun to watch/listen to, but I personally feel much more involved and able to try things out myself now that you're back to KSP1.
    Keep up the great work man, I truly enjoy watching your videos and learning new things from you and also stealing your old craft files and just taking a gander on how to build things and fly them around in possibly the most inefficient way imaginable (please post your craft files again if you're going back to KSP1 :V)

      I know, right? I'm still kind-of hoping they'll open-source it, probably under the GPL to make it hard for competing game companies to make money off it, but that'll be good enough. I don't know though, the glory days of commercial involvement in open source are in the past.

    Others have kinda alluded to it but until we get KSP2 development I really want to see a 'standard' pack of mods developed for KSP that basically 'turn it into' KSP2 and I'd love to see you specifically on board and leading that as a project. Ideally it should push the game's graphics quite a lot, but it should *also* add fundamentally new mechanics in a balanced and 'Kerbal" way. Obviously you can already achieve this right now by piecemealing your own mods together, but having it become much more standardised would allow it to be polished a lot more and make it much easier for people to install. There are lots of great examples from past games of 'supermods' or 'epic mods' that are basically this concept, they start as separate mods/parts then get put into the same pack, developed and refined *together* to become greater than the sum of their parts and then the whole thing is offered with an installer for convenient use.

    Loving the unique spaceplane! I always like new & different things. At first, I was wondering what all the lander cans were for, but having all those windows as a ceiling makes a lot of sense. It's easy to imagine these different layouts when we can't see inside.
    ShadowZone's video is good, yup.
    A skeleton crew pushing out one last update is what I'm expecting too. Part of me is hoping they'll open-source what's left, I lived through the Netscape open-sourcing; that was wild, and several other incredible things followed. I doubt it'll happen though; the corporate side of the KSP debacle is completely different to what happened with Netscape and business fashion seems to be turning against open source right now.
    I think a bit of closure would be good for many of us, even those like myself who never bought the game.
    There's the real Minmus! 😃I'm being silly, -KSP2's- _the other_ Minmus is great too, but this Minmus looks like a part of Mercury's terrain. I can just imagine an April Fools scientific paper considering what would happen if a moon really were made out of mint ice cream and placed in Earth orbit, likely concluding that _the sublimation of various volatiles_ (etc. lol) might make it look like that strange terrain on Mercury, and probably not edible too. 🙂
    I certainly like the conversational tone and relaxed style of your KSP voiceovers, Matt. In the _dark times_ before CZcams, I used to prefer books with a conversational tone too. And books don't even have a comment section!

    KSP2 was never going to live up to expectations. KSP2 would have been just fine with an engine and graphic overhaul, along with new parts and missions. I was never sold on the interstellar part traveling to new systems. Those flights would have been extremely slow and boring. Filling out the Kerbin System with all kinds of new things would have been fine. There were too many things promised that sounded nice in theory. The development team also seemed to lack competent leadership and direction. The lead dude reminded me so much of Todd Howard. That should have been a red flag for everyone. It just works...barely. 16 times the bugs. This is all fine to me. Long live the real classic, KSP 1.

    Dodged a bullet not getting KSP2. I look forward to future KSP1 vids and hope you take it easy on that bum rib!

    Thanks for returning to the game that started it all, KSP 1! Very sad about KSP 2, what a mess!!! But at least we have the base game and the mods and folks like you to show us what can still be done with it. Looking forwards to more vids from you.

    I never even knew there was a KSP 2, but then again I haven't even played KSP 1 in years

    So glad you're back to playing Kerba Space Program watching you work around the bugs of that other space game was painful.
